Spay/Neuter Clinic

Affordable Spay/Neuter Clinic

Our spay/neuter clinic is open to the public with safe and convenient curbside drop off and pick up service.

Reduce pet overpopulation and make your loved one healthier

The Tails Spay/Neuter clinic is a non-profit surgical clinic that provides high quality, affordable spay/neuter surgeries and preventive care. Our vision is to reduce dog and cat overpopulation so that all pets have a loving home.

Tails recognizes the direct link between the sterilization of pets and the pet overpopulation crisis. Which is why we operate the area’s only affordable spay/neuter clinic. We believe cost should not be a barrier to any pet owner who wants to do their part to help control the pet population.
